With St. Patrick’s Day on the horizon, I have been thinking about green desserts. This pudding recipe has the benefit of complimenting the upcoming St. Paddy’s Day and being made from pistchios which are pretty amazing! Pistachio Pudding In a food processor, pulse into a paste: 1/2 cup salted pistachios 1/3 cup sugar 2 tbsp…

We live in one of the best locations in the world for blueberries and wild ones in Nova Scotia are a rare find. We found some wild ones in the middle of our province and picked enough for a pie! Blueberries are full of antioxidants and are delicious off the bush or baked up in…

I often have very vivid memories of food related events from my childhood. A bag of limes can trigger a memory deeply ingrained in my brain! The bag of limes from Costco triggered one such memory of going to someone’s house and seeing a Key Lime Pie and being told by my parents that I…
